Dion Moult ddee88bed3 build_osx: --shared + skip geometry-writer plug-ins (~3x bundle shrink)
Mirrors the Rocky workflow's two-part size reduction (27249770e
"Reduce Rocky package size") on macOS:

1. Pass `--shared` to nix/build-all.py. The default builds
   IfcOpenShell as static libs, which means every plug-in dylib
   (schemas × 8, kernels × 3, mappings × 8, writers × 8, document
   serializers × ~4, linework processing) statically embeds a full
   copy of libIfcParse + libIfcGeom. With --shared the plug-ins
   reference @rpath/libIfcParse.dylib + @rpath/libIfcGeom.dylib and
   the per-plug-in dylib drops from ~30-50 MB to a few MB each.
   Dominant size win.

2. Filter `ifcopenshell.geometry.writer.*.dylib` out of BonsaiViewer's
   plug-in staging step in src/bonsaiviewer/CMakeLists.txt. These are
   the per-schema OBJ / glTF / DAE / STP / IGS / SVG / TTL export
   converters — heavy because each one inlines the full schema, and
   BonsaiViewer is a viewer, never an exporter, so they're pure
   deadweight inside the bundle. Additive on top of --shared.

Bundle went 300 MB → expected ~100 MB, in line with Linux (~100 MB)
and Windows (~80 MB).

The IFCOPENSHELL_BUILD_PYTHON_WRAPPER=off gate is unchanged for now
— once we confirm BonsaiViewer.app size + functionality look sane,
we can ungate the Python wrapper and see if shared-builds-on-macOS
shake out its install issues too.
